Rehoboth, N.M. – Rehoboth Christian School is hosting a book talk for the community by author
Dr. Farina King at 7 pm March 3, at the Rehoboth High School.
King is a co-author and will be speaking about their most recent book entitled “Returning Home:
Diné Creative Works from the Intermountain Indian School.”
Returning Home examines Diné (Navajo) boarding school students at the Intermountain Indian
School, which at one time was the largest federal Indian boarding school. The school was located in Brigham City, UT, and in existence from 1950 to 1984.
Through creative works in art and poetry, the book shows how Diné students maintained their culture while living away from home and trying to maintain their Diné culture.
King is a citizen of the Navajo Nation, an assistant professor of history and an affiliate of the Department of Cherokee and Indigenous Studies at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK.
